To the above perugu pachadi, you can add fried okras. Thats typically what my mom makes.
Cut okras into thin pieces and fry them in ghee for a couple of mins. After the pachadi is done, add the fried okras. Tastes great!

Namaskaram Sailaja-garu,

I’ve just tagged you for the Fantastic Four meme – as best I could see you have not been tagged yet.

Vizag is my husband’s native place, and your veg recipes take me there in the blink of an eye.

This is completely voluntary, of course, so do let me know if you would prefer not to participate, or if you already had.

Dear Sailaja, Thats another yummy recipe…simple and tasty. We love adding a dash of mustard paste (mustard soaked for 10 minutes and ground along with other ingredients for paste) to this recipe. Quite a favourite at home. Never added chana dal in baghaar, that sounds and looks good.

Mamatha

Sailu,
How are you? It’s been a while since your last post. So, just checking. Hope to see new recipes soon.

-Mamatha.

Lakshmi

Hey Sailaja, How come you are quiet for so long. I am eager to see your next receipe up soon. Hope things are good at your side.
